You wont have to use battlelog anymore for BF1it wont be used, everyone will ditch battlelog and these forums and go back to good old TS, Vent and the good old days of clan site forums (that dont get locked every 5th post.
I hate the new forums
This forum sucks, and I see no reason why they had to downgrade from what we had to this watered down pos.
Ugh, yes, roll that design out now.
Completely agree.
At least POS is still allowed. W…T…F…is not. I mean…seriously? Auto deletion of silly like that?
This is for sure a POS and I hate it. Can’t even tell the difference between this trash and the CoD forums except the word BATTLEFIELD at the top.
How do you even look at player’s stats and stuff now? A third third third party site?
@ADefianceDuck You’ve actually not contributed anything constructive to the discussion. Perhaps, if you have a suggestion to help improve these forums, we can move forward.
Everyone else who’s posted feedback (good or bad) in a constructive way "Try this… " “Can we have this…” etc, thanks. I’m taking all the feedback you guys have given.
We did announce this a month ago on Battlelog, and were wanting feedback to continue improving the new forums. We still do want the feedback. Lots of changes will be coming soon to these forums to make them more palatable to the eyes, fluid and functional, etc.
Calling them “cancer” and saying they are “**ing your eyes” will stop now though. Provide suggestions, constructive feedback, tell me what you like/don’t like, but let’s get past those types of comments and work together.
Thanks!

I apologize about that comment but people saying there is no issue just because they’re not experiencing it get on my nerves.
@SemperFi-Vivi Yes, it’s the white text on the black background. I can’t browse the forum for more than a few minutes without getting a headache, and judging by other people’s feedback, i’d say i’m not the only one (far from that).
Are there any plans for a mobile app? One thing I liked about the battlelog forums was using the forum through the app compared to trying and using a mobile site.
How about this?..Don’t lock the forums until this hot mess works?
Let’s have a way to look at players in a discussion without having to use two or three different sites.
Let me look at BF4 stuff without having to wade through BF1 stuff…a game that for all intents and purposes doesn’t even exist yet! I have no interest in it yet it is the number one thing on this forum…forum…I hate to even use that word for this collection of everything with Battlefield in it’s name. Might as well just slap us all onto the COD forums since this one emulates it in every way anyway.
When I click the BF4 shortcut on my bar…I want BF4.
Forums. Server browser. Friends.
This looks like one of those free forums you can get from ProBoards.
I have serious doubts if this is even a real Battlefield 4 forum. Sure doesn’t look professional in any way.
Thanks, @Maddayz.
I think once we have a background (hopefully early next week), it will reduce the strain of stark white on stark black. But I’m always open to suggestions after that. Definitely keep posting. Let’s make this place awesome.
@SmileAsTheyDie Still rolling things out. There is a mobile version that works well (yes, the blazing whiteness is rather intense, so I’m working with the team to get that toned down - possibly have the same style as here.)
(I really love the tagging ability, though.)
-Braddock512-
I’ll work with the Uprise/Battlelog team to have the specific game Forum button redirect to the specific main heading of the forums. Great observation and feedback, @mckrackin5324. Totally get what you’re saying.
Thanks!

Tagging is for Twitter kids. Don’t do that.
And thanks for reading anyway.
I actually like the Tagging feature. Aside from the design, there are a few other things the forum lacks : Latest activity like in the former Battlelog forum
Link to the Battlelog profile of the poster (BF4 forum → BF4 soldier, BF3 Forum → BF3 Soldier, ect…)
Old threads of the Battlelog forum (even if it’s just as archive)
One thing I always wanted and was annoyed that Battlelog didn’t have was a hover-over preview for thread titles. Every other forum I visit gives you the first sentence or two of a post when mousing over the thread title. Helps keep you from clicking through a bunch of threads that aren’t what you thought they were.
The colors and overall design need tweaking, which I read above is still being worked on. Right now, the main page just looks like a long list of forums with no separation for different sections. As someone mentioned above, right now it looks like something I would have made 10 years ago on a free site.
Also, page navigation should be at the bottom of a page as well as the top.
we tried that for 5 years pal, got boring when the only feedback was thread locks. I and many normal players will never buy this sham of a game when you and your like did nothing about cheating ! any new measures ? i now have ex friends who have spent 10 bloody quid and are still cheating !
Semantics.
Hiding a thread from everyone but admins is THE SAME THING as deleting it.
Will the BF4 soldier profile page return to normal, we can’t like each others activities anymore I noticed a few minutes ago. Are the private chats going to be turned off as well?
For those of us who have been gaming together for several years now it’s how we keep up with each other.
I’m sure some new players don’t care anything about that, although we’ve been pretty faithful buying the game at release, premium, sometimes making constructive threads…actually yes, sometimes…
This type format and no BL for it, are why I deleted SWBF off my console and opted not to get the season pass. That’s just an honest sentiment, as the game was too isolating lacking any way of communicating other than VOIP and PSN messaging.
A lot of people would agree that they, like me spent as much time hanging out in BL as playing the game.
I think you guys have miscalculated the value of the original BL and features, as we did at first. Now it’s just part of the game, or was…so give that some consideration, if you please.
EDIT: I know it wasn’t particular to the Forums, but you get the picture.
That’s a bug I’ve escalated to Uprise. I’ll keep you posted on that issue.
We do have a “Groups” plugin (basically like Platoons where you can organize groups of forum members for events, etc. I’m currently reviewing it’s usability and feasibility for this site as well as how it will integrate in the future. Stay tuned on that.

How do I switch this mobile phone portrait layout to a landscape?
My screen is 75% black…a bright black that somehow still manages to hurt my eyes.
